mickey you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> caller: howdy. i just want to say a couple of things here that are very serious. the first thing is i'm a gay man in south dakota and i work for a company -- i applied for in an ad in the paper here in my town where i live and there's a 90-day period that you have to work before you can get the job. so they worked me up to the 90th day and i was fired. and i asked why, and they said well and they all looked at one another like why are we firing him? and i said is it because i'm gay? and they said oh no no no. and my neighbor across the street is a friend of one of the big bosses and he said they told me it was because you are gay. so when i was applied for unemployment, i was denied

unemployment, because being gay was not a good enough reason. and i work for a doctor and when he came into my room and examined me and then read my report and saw i was hiv positive, he screamed bloody murder and told me he would not be a doctor for me and refused service. so anyone who thinks that a right to work state is good it is not, because doctors will refuse your service and you cannot get unemployment because you are gay. and you can be denied service in restaurant just because you are gay. it goes back to the 1800s that there is a law that even if they think you are gay, they can deny you service. >> stephanie: that's what i wonder sometimes, we feel -- john edwards used to use the two americas and it literally feels like i'm sitting

here in l.a., and it feels like we're talking about two different countries. >> we are. and it's a totally republican-run state too. >> stephanie: at least the good news is mickey the president was reelected and he has done more for gay rights than any of the previous presidents combined. so hopefully we're moving forward >> yeah, but it is also up to the individual states. >> stephanie: i really hope it gets decided at the supreme court level, because i feel like you can't have different laws all over the country, it literally makes it a mess. >> it does. work benefits in one state, they move to another state, those benefits are denied. it's a huge mess. >> stephanie: yep.

common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

contribute to. and in the affordable care act there is a provision that says if the company does provide health insurance that is more than i think 9.5% of your salary, you can do the exchange. and if the worker has to go out and do the exchange because if the group happens to not be providing affordable insurance for everybody, not just its higher-paid employees, that has to contribute to the exchange as well. if garden offers a plan that is really good for a management ceo but not the hourly worker and the worker says i want to go to though exchange instead. >> stephanie: you thought of everything for that affordable care act, jacki schechner. god bless you. >> not me personally. but the idea is if you are going

age the medicare eligibility age. this could have some surprising consequences including higher premiums for people on medicare which you mentioned and aarp is already running ads knocking down the ideas and nancy pelosi has said the same thing. and why i wonder -- why is this on the table? this is paul ryan's idea. >> yeah two parts to this. the first part during the election we talked about the $760 billion worth of savings that we had from medicare and the republicans railed against them as cuts and now they are asking to cut medicare. they want to protect your medicare and try to take money out of it at the same time. the second part --

>> stephanie: go ahead. >> oh sorry. >> stephanie: please phlegmy mcphlegmyson go ahead. >> you push people out in to the private insurance market and their premiums are going to be high, and it will raise generally for everybody. so not will it cost shift on to seniors who may forgo medicare because they can't afford it but it ends up raising the price of the insurance market overall. >> stephanie: and it is one of those things politically that oh that seems reasonable, and a concession we could make. but once again, they lost. a leading medicare expert says

this has surpricing ripple effects. and the justification is people are living longer but i don't think people have thought through the indirect effects. the kaiser study says higher monthly premiums for seniors on medicare. the cost would go up and raise cost for the rest the increase would be about 3% when the higher eligibility age is phased in. higher premiums because older adults would stick with private insurance for the two extra years. >> we have to keep saying this over and over again. we don't have a medicare problem. we have a health care cost problem. this is not a medicare problem. it's because our health care system is dysfunctional, and prices are too high and costs are out of control because companies make money by jacking up prices and not allowing us to

negotiate. >> >> stephanie: right. and an increase in all costs, higher out of pocket health care costs, and the cbo projected an increase in the number of uninsured, and that possibility becomes more real with states like texas saying they are not going to accept the medicaid expansion. >> medicare is more efficient than private insurance. they are more satisfied with their medicare coverage. the networks are broader, and -- there is study after study and research after research to show how medicare is leading the way in innovation with ways to pay our doctors and healthcare providers more efficiently. there is so much good coming out of medicare and the fact that they want to strip it on principal, and really it's a matter of trying to dump this money into the private insurance

market, and make more money for wall street is what is going on here. there is not a medicare problem, say it over and over again -- [♪ mysterious music ♪] >> it's really important. >> stephanie: and one last point -- i think we made this before too. this goldman sachs ceo talking about this. it's different for you to sit in your cushy office. >> nobody really understandings how screwed up our health insurance system is until they face something where they have to deal with the system and then it's universal, everybody says oh my gosh we have such a problem here. people say i don't get it i like my insurance, wait until something gets wrong.

feet and wanted tax cut for the wealthy. and the president stood his ground and they undid this by unanimous consent right before christmas. that's what is going to happen this time. >> stephanie: again, they say the president is not being clear. >> obama: just to be clear, i'm not going to sign any package that presents rates going up for folks at the top 2%. >> he wasn't clear enough. he didn't say which country.

concrete mathematically sound proposal. >> stephanie: oh my god, i'm reading the chyron right now. the white house has only offered a joke according to boehner. representative are you reading anything new >> what is going on here is that the republicans understand that they are going to have to put over a trillion dollars of revenue into this agreement, and they are coming to terms with how to get the votes within their conference to do it. and i honestly think that that will happen about two weeks from now. i'm focused more on the taxes and less on the jobs. the jobs numbers is good but not good enough yet. part of this deal has to be jobs right now. more transportation construction. tax cuts for small businesses if they create jobs extension of

unemployment benefits for those who are looking very hard for work. that's what we ran on. >> stephanie: yeah. >> we ran on creating jobs for everybody. and i want to insist on that as part of this deal. >> stephanie: it is the lowest unemployment level in four years. we have dropped to 7.7, added twice as many jobs as expected and yet they want to go back to the policies where we were losing 700,000 jobs a month -- >> fact number 1 is that the president promised to get unemployment down below 8% if we passed the stimulus bill. it is down below 8% from almost

11. the economy has created over 7 million new jobs since the job-killing health care bill was signed. by the way over a million of those in the medical field. >> stephanie: and i can hear the air quotes in your voice as heard on fox news. >> yeah. and the third is that barack obama did win the presidential election. he got 51% of the vote very nearly. by some appropriate coincidence, mitt romney got 47% of the vote. the president got 332 electoral votes. he won. and all of the rest of this is the republicans playing out various stages of grief and loss. >> stephanie: yeah exactly. >> and i think it's coming right before the end of the calendar year. >> stephanie: why does the medicare eligibility age have to

be on the table? it seems like a bad idea. it's an idea that paul ryan embraced. obviously nancy pelosi has said she doesn't like the idea. as you just said we won. why do we need to trade that this time? >> i don't think there is going to be any trade. there is concern about medicare's long-term fiscal health because people are living longer. and the actuarial tables are a little bit out of whack on this so it's something i think you can evaluate if it is done in a fair way, but we already agreed to $1.2 trillion of spending cuts that are now a law in july of 2011. and there was no revenue in that deal. and i think to get distracted by the spending side we're taking the bait if we do that. >> stephanie: uh-huh. representative you are

saying -- first of all is there going to be a vote on the 98% of us getting a tax cut, is there going to be a vote on that? >> sure. i think what will happen is that in some form the present tax rates will stay in effect on a long-term basis. now what procedural mechanism these guys eventually come up with i don't know but that's what the result is going to be. >> stephanie: all right. well it's all good news. thank you for updating us. >> it's great talking to you. >> stephanie: you too.

>> yep. >> caller: number 2 bill o'reilly has this position where he will double the minimum wage and subsidize it with government funds so it doesn't crush small business. if they were to happen that would take an incredible amount of people off of the entitlement programs. it would increase the tax flow in the income tax you are getting from the people who are making more money, and it would fix the economy because your consumer base has way more money to spend. >> stephanie: yeah, that's an important point. a lot of these top 1%ers like what warren buffets are saying tax me. i need consumers that are able to afford the product i sell. >> and again, you know the robin hood tax is the smartest thing i have heard all year. eliot spitzer has a great piece
